Public housing at what price?

On Monday and Tuesday the Baird government will auction off three more houses in Kent Street from the public housing estate at The Rocks.Families that have lived there for three and five generations or more – some paying rent for more than 100 years – will compulsorily lose their homes, their friends and their community.The 293 families involved can thank Pru Goward, now the NSW Minister for Planning, for she was the minister who replaced the disgraced Greg Pearce when Barry O’Farrell sacked him over a perceived conflict of interest more than a year ago.
